All good questions and all questions that are vastly widening the scope of the original discussion. The original discussion was does Twitter have the right to delete or flag a post. Your question venture off into the media and it’s responsibility. With that said....
I have not seen the Waters quote, if she’s saying what you are claiming it’s flat wrong and irresponsible. In this instance could Twitter delete or flag her posts on that, yes of course, noW “should they” is a whole different discussion which I do t believe they should or it’s their responsibility. The same statement hold true for the Trump tweet. The right to vs should are totally different discussions.

To those stuck in the conundrum I say vote 3rd party. It’s time for another voice to get interjected into our political system.

There is no room right now. The MSM is bought and paid for by the elite on both sides. A guy like Yang never stood a chance.
The presidency is now only for swamp creatures or billionaires. We need some serious election reform.

While I won’t argue one bit what you are saying, this all (minus the recession question which was never posed in Obama, etc) is absolutely true about the right. The hypocrisy on both directions is so thick you could cut it with a butter knife.

Agreed. That’s why we need to remember we hold the power with our vote. Yang never stood a chance because of what Trump built a successful career (and ultimately a Presidency) on, branding and marketing. It’s disgustingly disappointing.

Hm yeah the blondeness not so much, "blonde actress" just meant ex-starlet with zero insight into the issue. She's 1. not a reporter, 2. not even vouching for the material, 3. not even someone who would know anything about the subject, 4. she's as random as some Algerian dude posting Isis videos. I mean, Alec Baldwin thinks Orange Man Bad, same thing.
Lol Tony, it was just the claim "she didn't mean nothin' by it" is laughable. It outright claims Biden is a pedophile. Not a harasser or gross or an assaulter, the claim of the video is outright that he's a pedophile.

He just said the US is terminating their relationship with the WHO and is changing their relationship with China. First question, "Mr. President, do you think Twitter should have fact checked your tweets".Spoke walked away and left all the reporters sitting there and took no questions.

Pretty crazy he didn’t talk about Minneapolis.Spoke, walked away and left all the reporters sitting there and took no questions after they sat waiting for 45 minutes.
Can wait for the fake outrage coming.

Even he must have realized he stepped in it, as also evidenced by his attempted backtrack on his “When the looting starts, the shooting starts" tweet.

Ah. That probably would have been brought up by someone. Definitely would have been asked about the shooting looters tweet.

Bigly on China. China has been ripping us off forever well not during my Presidency but other presidents.
WHO didnt agree with me so I am taking away their funding.
I am the master of the deal but couldn't get a deal with China so ...

....These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!
I am asking this in all seriousness....but I already know the answer I'll get....
Was this tweet a dire prediction based on previous similar situations ... or an ominous threat of what will happen if looting occurs?

He (or rather his aides) obviously realized it was perceived as a threat, particularly after the history of "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" quote surfaced.
He backtracked on it with a tweet today and took no questions at a press conference where 35 reporters were assembled. If it had not been viewed as a threat he would not have qualified his original tweet, as there would have been no need to.

So, I am guessing that without President Trump's tweet, it would have remained peaceful?
You are basing that assumption on previous, similar events?
Even if he would have said..."If I had a son...."?

Oh, when compared to the time it was used before, I have no doubt that it looks bad....and after thinking about it....he probably realizes that too.
I am talking about his original intent.

Does President Trump have the unilateral ability to stop funding the WHO? I thought that was the role of Congress.

Well yes and no, Democrats say Trump's halt to WHO funding would violate the same law as Ukraine aid freeze.

I'm suggesting he say something other than "Thugs" and talking about looting and shooting in his 1st words to the nation about a tragedy.

Has Trump even said a word about this situation?

The tweet is ambiguous it could be both. If you read the first part of the tweet about the military it's easy to take it as a threat. However the use of the word "but" between "the military" part and "loot and shoot" part leads me to interpret as a prediction.

One way you can tell the degree of effect of Trump's words is you can see what happened the first time they were uttered, by the police chief of Miami in 1968.

0.0 Mr. Blutarsky. CNN, MSNBC and the left wingers in the cop thread are still trying to put people protesting to go back to work in Michigan on the same level as the mob in Minneapolis.

Nice! I usually wait until after Labor Day to put the Trump yard sign up, but it went up after Memorial Day this year.

President Trump’s announcement regarding Hong Kong and comments surrounding it are largely overshadowed by other news but what he said was important and I suspect most Americans, liberal and conservative, would agree with him. We should all support his firm stand on this.

It’s their “payback” , the election and fake conspiracies haven’t panned out too well.
Oh good grief.
When would they have time to do that what, with building all those internment camps for the gay community and all?
When he called for swift justice...was that for the looters or the offending police officers?

Proper procedure would be to show up to a demonstration in Bermuda shorts & flip flops.
If something happens, there is always time to run home and change clothes
